Name who you think are the greatest three players in the history of the Premiership. Henry: the best striker Giggs and Lampard for consistency, longevity, and good behaviour at least on the field. Scholes came close for me but his fouling counted against him. Cantona too, for sheer impact. And Ronaldo, but Ferguson failed to get the best out of Cristiano until his last couple of seasons, and even then Jose got more out of him. Shearer: only one league title so no...
Bergkamp without a shadow of a doubt. Ronaldo a close second. Third is a toss up between Shearer/Henry/Lampard.
All UTD player are greatest all Chav park the bus FC/Dippers players are crap. I will take Ronaldo as the best, but Henry just a tad behind him
Don't see how a player that's never won it can be above players that virtually carried teams to titles like Shearer (94/95), Lampard (04/05 & 09/10) and Henry (01/02 & 03/04). Pele, Maradona, Moore and Beckenbauer all won World Cups. There are obvious exceptions to the rule due to the pool of talent at that level I.e like Cryuff. Eusebio, Baresi, Puskas etc? Just my opinion of course, no need to get touchy.
Ok I forgive you DL. But your world cup analogy was way out, because none of those you mentioned played in the PL era.
Would be nice if we could vote for more than one Bergy/Henry (Only picking one from Arsenal but I can't decide which), Lampard , Shearer
Cruyff, baresi, puskas, Eusebio all won lots of league titles. Gerrard was not good enough to even carry Liverpool to one title. His premiership record in defining matches is poor. 2 goals in 34 games v chelsea (one og) and similar v United. Lampard Henry Rooney (**** I missed him) all scored crucial goals v their immediate rivals and run-in goals
Was Lampard really ever all that? Drogba did the dirty work ahead of him and Makelele and Essien behind. Obviously a good player but shouldn't be mentioned alongside Henry, Vieira, Ronaldo etc.
Obviously not in Henry's class but can't knock his longevity plus lead chelsea to three titles. Drogba was not so influential 04/5, 05/6 as he was 07-10. Very good in big games too v United arsenal
You cant use that as a barometer *(dragged to the title wtf? ) Lampard had a sugar daddy to fill the rest of the squad to win the title where as Gerrard hasnt. You cant say Lampard dragged you to a title Absolutely ridiculous biased crap so try and give another reason as to why Lampard is the joint 3rd greatest ever and Gerrard isnt You'll struggle as put simply Gerrard pisses all over Lampard
What dont you get about the other 10 players on his team being top players that you've paid millions upon millions for that Lampard didnt have to play above and beyond the call of duty to drag them to win matches? Different in Gerrards case
In order 1 Bergkamp 2 Ronaldo 3 Henry 4 Scholes 5 Cantona 6 Shearer 7 Schmeichel 8 Vieira 9 Keane 10 Drogba 11 Giggs 12 Lampard Gerrard would fit in between Cantona and Shearer. For Chelsea, Zola would rival Henry for third and Makelele would go above Keane.
